To get a clear view of what I'm trying to explain, check the game-demo "Blockz".

This part of code checks, when dragging 'myobject' to the right, if an object called 'oBlockb' is at a certain coordinate [and therefor being in it's way].
If so, 'myobject' [the dragged object] shouldn't move.
It also should let the dragged object only move right when it's X <=360.

Problems:
* If I drag the object really quick it drags through oBlockb instead of being blocked by it.
* If I drag the object really quick it drags through the  <=360 boundary.
* If I drag the object slowly it stops because of "myobject.X+120==oBlockb.X", but then I also can't drag it to the left...

So, how to solve these problems...

And: is there maybe a better way to check if objects are blocking the to-be-dragged "myobject'?

Code: ags

Object* myobject = Object.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
 if (mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseLeft)) {
    if (button_pressed==0) {
      button_pressed = 1;
      ob = Object.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
    }
  } 
  else {
    button_pressed=0;
    if (ob!=null) {
      //ob.Baseline = 0;   
      ob=null;
    }
  }
  if ((ob != null) && (Game.SpriteWidth[myobject.Graphic]==120) && 
  (myobject.X+120==oBlockb.X &&  myobject.Y-60==oBlockb.Y-60 && myobject.X <=360)){
    int width  = Game.SpriteWidth[ob.Graphic];
    int height = Game.SpriteHeight[ob.Graphic];
  ob.SetPosition(ob.X, ob.Y);}  
  
  else if  ((ob != null) && (Game.SpriteWidth[myobject.Graphic]==120) && 
  (myobject.X+120==oBlockb.X && myobject.Y-60==oBlockb.Y-120 && myobject.X <=360)) {
    int width  = Game.SpriteWidth[ob.Graphic];
    int height = Game.SpriteHeight[ob.Graphic];
  ob.SetPosition(ob.X, ob.Y);}  
    
  else if  (ob != null){
    int width  = Game.SpriteWidth[ob.Graphic];
    int height = Game.SpriteHeight[ob.Graphic];
    ob.SetPosition(mouse.x-width/2, ob.Y);

Thanx

Oh, and it would be nice if a single click on the arrowkeys would let it automatically slide into the goal (if there's nothing in its way of course).

mmhh...

[v1.3 is up.]

v1.3 is up.

@Mr. Matti:
Thanx and fixed.

@Tinytim:
It seemed to be a roomload bug. It's fixed now, really  .

How can I change this code so that the object is only drag'n'Dropped left or right?

Code: ags

function room_RepExec()
{
  if (mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseLeft)) {
    if (button_pressed==0) {
      button_pressed = 1;
      ob = Object.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
    }
  } 
  else {
    button_pressed=0;
    if (ob!=null) {
      ob=null;
    }
  }
  if (ob != null) {
    int width  = Game.SpriteWidth[ob.Graphic];
    int height = Game.SpriteHeight[ob.Graphic];
    ob.SetPosition(mouse.x-width/2, mouse.y+height/2);  
}
}

Reuploaded v1.2.

@ straydogstrut:
And thanx, level 5 slider bug fixed  
Reuploaded v1.2.

@ Everyone:
Thanx all for the comments so far.

@ Bicilotti:
A 'click, hold, move mouse, release' way of sliding the blocks was also my idea but then I have to
find out how to do that. I skipped it for this demo because I had no spare time left [job]...
But I think I will try to change the way of moving the blocks into into real sliding.
[if it's not to hard to find a solution for it, I'm still a 'beginner' codewise....

I also like the 'divided in unlockable "worlds" idea.  Uber cool indeed but it will cost me way more time art wise.

@ Radiant:
Fitting background music might be added in the final version.
I hadn't time enough to add music for this little demo...

@Stupod:
A move counter was already an idea but I'm not sure if it will be added in the final version.

v1.2 is now up 

@Mr. Matti:
The 'White-slider was not blocking the Home/Delete key slider' bug fixed.
Can't repro your 'couldn't move a "page up" upwards' problem in L9...
Can you tell me which of the page-up key's had a problem moving up when looking at the begin situation of this level?

@Tinytim:
When finished L12 you can now enter L13

Level 11 'shift key slider' bug fixed, thanx for noticing Ben  

v1.1 is now up.

• Level 13: Room-load bug fixed.
  v1.2:
  
• Level 03 'Home/Delete key slider' bug fixed.
  
• Level 05 'page up/down key slider'bug fixed.
  
• Level 12 'unable to enter level 13' bug fixed.
  v1.1:
  
• Level 11 'shift key slider' bug fixed.

When starting a new level the game will be auto-saved.
When starting an already unlocked level, the game will not save.
When starting the game it will auto-restore the savegame, bringing you to the start of last played level.
A level will be unlocked when you finish it  .
You can replay unlocked levels by the level select menu, just click the on-screen star-button.
You can reset a level by using the on-screen circle-with-arrow-button.
Quit the game by clicking the on-screen Q-button.

Shortkey's:
L = Level Select
Q = Quit game

This demo still contains placeholders like for example the mouse pointer.
The next & previous buttons in the level select screen are not yet enabled since there's only one screen yet.

Screens:
Level 2:                                                                            Level select:


Comments please...

Enjoy  

Very cool module 

There's a page in the manual titled "system limits" where you can find that kind of info.

Thanx for the info.

Can't find it on the forum: is there a max amount of buttons on a gui and if so, what is the amount?

Very interesting stuff DN

[Die Dulce Fruere]

@ Nickel:
Die Dulce Fruere does make sense.
It's Latin, meaning "enjoy the day" or "have a nice day".
Not so fascistic after all

 

@Dual:
Indeed, or from iphone for example.
From any other platform to PC via AGS.
But in stead of porting, i'm also curious if there are any games that are clones from console/iphone games.

On the other hand, without the source it technically wouldn't be a port (because that term indicates that you adapt the original software to run under a different (hardware) system) but a clone or recreation.

I [obviously] do not have the source so I think you're right saying it would be a clone
But then there can still be issues I guess, like for example 'same level design'.
Maybe a slight difference per level will do?

Can porting a freeware iphone game to pc give any copyright problems?

I think that one is just a "1:1 remake".
